Yesterday, after 3.5 years of work, I passed my doctoral defence. I'd like to kindly request that from now on everyone refer to me as "The Doctor". I'm looking forward to receiving my Tardis and embarking on wacky adventures through space and time. That's how this works, right?
@psychology_jo@PhDVoice Its tough but also an amazing adventure. Culture shock is real and I had to make a real effort to find friends.Also, I wasn't prepared for having so many language issues in day to day life, and I didn't have the time or mental energy to learn the language and do my PhD.
@naraminkkinen I set rules for myself not to work evenings and weekends, and made sure to have hobbies outside of work, and at some point I found myself just leaving those feelings of "needing to get things done" at the office. And I think my work is better for it.
@naraminkkinen Yes, i get those feelings too, but I've learned it's better to let things be for a while. With revisions, I ALWAYS sleep on it before I begin to make changes. And I almost never work after dinner unless I absolutely have to. Its really important to switch off.
@DavidJohnBaker Ooh your sysmus talk was great! Will this one be open to anyone? Things I would love advice on: how to network, how to sell your skills as relevant, how to know if my particular skills are a good fit for data science roles.
@deniz_meri I think I would withdraw it if I were you. I have had good experiences with Psychology of Music, Journal of New Music Research, Journal of Research in Music Education, and Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology. I've also heard that Frontiers is fast.
@deniz_meri Mine have usually come back around 3 months. 10 is way too long! Have you emailed the editor? Also, I think you can include a manuscript that's "under review" in your thesis. I did that for one of mine.
Just watched Spielberg's West Side Story having never seen the musical, and the film seemed to me to be a story about toxic masculinity and women knowing better. Is this a modern take, or was Romeo and Juliet always about toxic masculinity? #WestSideStory
Astonishing lack of interest amongst UK journalists about questions raised by The Trojan Horse Affair, and even less desire to put those questions to @michaelgove. I wonder why that is.
@DavidJohnBaker For me, winky emoji means I'm joking, or I understand your joke. I don't think I would ever interpret is as being judgmental. I think that would require raised eyebrows or side-eye. There's an emoji with one raised eyebrow that i think is quite judgy.
Very happy to share our new open access paper investigating the cognitive functions of slow instrumental music practice, with @cwoellner https://t.co/BOYdEPjmpK
